Chapter 312 - 182: Chen Xuan Battles the Heavenly Ranking

Who else could it be but Elder Cang Er?

As the aftershocks of energy dissipated, Chen Xuan stood tall and imposing. His black robes fluttered around his powerful, upright frame, and he was shrouded in brilliant lightning and flames. His aura was terrifying, pulsing with power.

He appeared completely unharmed.

"Enough of your nonsense!"

Chen Xuan's voice was cold.

An Outer Saint Level expert!

'This is what I've been waiting for!'

His jet-black pupils began to burn, and golden flames blazed within them.

Old Deng, his face a mask of horror, rushed recklessly to Chen Xuan's side, staring at him as if he'd just seen a ghost.

'Has Chen Xuan reached the Outer Saint Level?'

'No!'

'He hasn't reached the Outer Saint Level!'

'He's still in the Inner Realm!'

'Did Chen Xuan just severely injure an Outer Saint while still in the Inner Realm?'

'But how is that possible?'

'That's even more terrifying, isn't it?'

"I'll leave that severely injured piece of trash to you. I'll take care of this one, then I'll come help you. Any problem with that?"

Chen Xuan said coldly, his eyes fixed on the other Outer Saint before him, Yundao.

Yundao was also utterly shocked, his face a picture of sheer disbelief.

He felt as if his worldview, built over hundreds of years, had completely shattered.

'Could Chen Xuan also possess a Six Paths Samsara Body?'

'Like their Goddess, has he actually been alive for nearly a thousand years?'

'Impossible!'

'There can't be two people with the Six Paths Samsara Body in one generation!!'

'Then what is going on?'

'How could Chen Xuan be this strong?'

His breathing soon grew ragged. His gaze locked onto Chen Xuan, intense and terrifyingly fervent, as if he were staring at an exceptionally rare treasure.

"Good, good, good! The stronger you are, the happier I am! Get stronger! Explode with power! Let me see just how powerful you truly are!!"

Yundao shouted excitedly.

He was practically bursting with uncontrollable excitement.

But in the next moment, an overwhelming sense of crisis washed over him, like an endless sea of golden fire suddenly drowning his body.

Only then did he finally understand what his companion had just experienced!

'This Chen Xuan!'

'Something's wrong with him!!'

"How dare you!!"

Yundao roared, raising his palm. Limitless power erupted from his body as he slashed down violently toward Chen Xuan.

In that instant, the entire sky went dark.

Massive stars materialized, hurtling down to bombard Chen Xuan below. Each star shone with a dazzling light, carrying an apocalyptic aura.

This was the power of an Outer Saint!!

The world within their bodies had begun to align with the greater world outside.

Every move they made channeled the great power of nature itself!!

However, none of the stars had any effect.

Even though each star was immeasurably heavy and contained incredible power, Chen Xuan smashed right through them.

A crimson-gold light, shrouded in countless bolts of lightning, was like an indestructible cosmic sword. It shattered star after star, creating a chain of earth-shattering explosions.

With almost heaven-defying strength, Chen Xuan forced his way right up to his opponent.

His aura was wild to the extreme!

Like a peerless Demon God, he soared into the heavens!

A look of alarm flashed in Yundao's eyes. As Chen Xuan suddenly appeared before him, he was left in a state of utter shock and bewilderment.

'What the fuck...'

'What kind of monster is this?'

"ROAR!"

He roared and quickly thrust both palms out, striking fiercely at Chen Xuan.

But as Chen Xuan charged in, he had already unleashed his ultimate punch, smashing it violently toward Yundao's body.

All the buffs in his body activated.

Pushed to their absolute limit!

Innate Tyrant Body!

Innate Divine Strength!

Absolute Domain!

Lightning Dharma King!

Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2)!

Primordial Barbaric Energy!

Unified Origin Energy!

...

BOOM!

Another fierce and terrifying roar echoed out, and explosions rocked the entire sky. The sound was horrifying. The buildings below were also caught in the blast, shattering and crumbling into dust.

Yundao spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward. Both of his palms were fractured and shattered on the spot. Of his ten fingers, only four remained attached to his hands.

He had lost three fingers on each hand, and they were dripping with blood.

The excruciating pain twisted his face, and his heart was filled with utter shock and disbelief.

'This is impossible!'

'This can't be possible!'

He was about to go insane!

'I'm even stronger than Elder Cang Er!'

'And I was also sent flying by a single punch from Chen Xuan?'

'Is there any justice in this world?'

THUD!

His body flew back several miles before crashing violently into a distant mountain range.

But the instant Chen Xuan sent him flying, he had already transformed into a streak of light and given chase.

He was going to kick a man while he was down!!

In the courtyard, everyone was horrified, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

After his initial shock, Old Deng let out a loud cry and transformed into a streak of turquoise light, pouncing on Elder Cang Er, who had been sent flying earlier.

'My opponent was already severely injured by Chen Xuan. If I still can't take him down...'

'...I might as well just go find a block of tofu and smash my head against it!'

"*Cough, cough, cough...*"

Elder Cang Er had just struggled to his feet in the distance, coughing up blood. He had barely had time to process what had happened.

Because it had all happened too fast! Way too fast!

Faster than reason! Faster than imagination!

'What in the world is going on?'

Just as he got to his feet, he saw Old Deng, wreathed in turquoise light, charging viciously toward him.

"Die!"

Elder Cang Er roared in frustration, as if he'd gone mad, and immediately began brawling with Old Deng.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of world-destroying shockwaves immediately erupted between the two.

The Outer Saint Level battle instantly reached its peak.

Old Deng let out a long, continuous roar. His aura surged, as if he had returned to his youth.

In the blink of an eye, the two had clashed for hundreds, even thousands, of rounds.

Elder Cang Er coughed up blood again and again, feeling utterly suffocated with indignation.

'Damn it all! Chen Xuan shattered my arm, so I can't even use seventy percent of my full strength. And now I'm being suppressed by that old good-for-nothing, Ancient Star River! Truly, Heaven helps the wicked, not the righteous!'

...

「Far in the distance.」

Having just crashed through the mountain range, Yundao felt his vision go dark. He was dizzy, and blood was seeping from his seven orifices. His arms trembled, and waves of intense pain made him feel as if he were trapped in a nightmare.
